Summary:
Great experience! Fast and responsive communication right from the first WhatsApp message. Visa was sorted very smoothly and everything worked out as planned. I had a very kind and respectful tour guide (Lhazin Dorji) and a reliable driver who ensured a memorable stay. I really enjoyed my short stay in the land of the thunder dragon.

Summary:
Wondering how to put into words the experience we’ve had these past 6 days. Bhutan is a truly spectacular country and the people made the experience all the more special
Organising the trip with Nawang was effortless. He understood immediately what we required and customised the trip according to our interests.
Sonam, our guide is an absolute gem. He was so eager to share his knowledge and love for his country. He was friendly and extremely accommodating. His answer was always yes and it made our trip all the more special. We will always remember this trip and it’s because of him
Our driver Tashi- quiet, respectful and extremely kind. Always greeted us with a smile.
The hotels were clean and check in/out was seamless. We requested for a bike for 3 days and absolutely loved riding it. Both the guide and driver were very comfortable with handling both bike and car which made us feel very safe.
We cannot recommend Omsha travels enough. If you are looking for a travel agent, don’t look any further.
